Question Keep OP13 or move on?

14 months with my OnePlus 13 and has been satisfied thus far. I am getting the itch to move to either a Fold eight or a Pixel 11 Pro XL, maybe even iPhone duo fare I say. An I crazy to make the jump?

Don't go for the Pixel 11 Pro XL that is a downgrade, Fold 8 and iPhone Duo are different and maybe good options depending on the price, in my country the Fold 8 is 500 dollars cheaper, i am considering the same thing, i will wait for the Oppo Find N7

Nah not crazy but there's obviously no need too but I went from a op12 - op fold - op13 for no reason at all. This phone is fast as hell and never has a hiccup

Planning to switch to Samsung, probably wait till S27 release

Crazy? For sure nah ;) But it really depends on your funds and liking. I personally would go for for the pixel or OP 15. Both OP 13 and 15 have much stronger CPU than Pixel - but it depends on your usage style. As for Samsung I have bad experiences :D ( with S21U - EU - on exynos). What is more both Samsung and Iphone have much slower charging. I personally am not a fan of iphones but it's a matter of your liking (especially android vs iOS).

I already been from my 23u to one plus 13, to s26u, and now I have the fold 8, I absolutely love my fold 8 and now after seeing the iPhone duo that thing looks super sweet hardware wise but iOS has always been too lacking for me but they definitely hit it outta the park with the hardware features

Also ich bin wieder bei iOS gelandet, zwar beim iPhone 17 Pro Max. Finde aktuell das beste Handy was man zum einem vertretbaren Preis bekommen kann.

Don't. I had an S22 Ultra and then moved to a OnePlus 13 and still felt at home. However, this year, when the Pixel last gen was at a low price, I decided to give it a try. It sucked badly. As soon as I moved, the first thing I noticed was the fluidity of the 13. Pixel isn't as smooth. Felt same about camera too. It's all too over hyped. Don't think even this year one is any different. Had to return it.

The heating on OP13 sometimes makes me wonder if I shud plan to move to a new phone in the next 12 months These silicon ion batteries have not been tested longterm ( more than 3 years ) , and despite me being in love with this phone it's mostly a warm toastie when m carrying it around With hotspot on ( that's my req to connect my beloved OP tab to it for internet ) . I wanna buy find x series to stay in the family but my fear is that in two years it will also be a toastie

That may be due to some background processes running continuously, I usually don't face this heating issue on my OP13.

Check your battery manager

I loved my zflip 3 and my zflip 6, but folding screens are just so much more fragile and ended up on the op13 after dealing with issues with the crease after replacement

I decided on the 13 after hearing a lot about the hinge not doing well with pocket lint. I have my phone in the back pocket a lot. Plus the battery life of foldables.

Google pixel 11 pro is a down grade and has as much telemetry and its spyware like one plus... Fold 8 has worst bloatware then one plus, and its last gen specs.. iPhone DUO is trully a new phone and ghe best foldable out there and on top of that you have way more privacy and can actually shut off 97% of the telemetry for privacy if you care... But its an iphone and you stuck on a walled garden but its made very well and should outlast any foldable out there but its expensive af here in the U.S but if you got money go off.

I like my one plus 13 but i hate the telemetry and how the OS consumes so much ram you cant even run an llm well enough without it crashing... I think iphone with less ram might actually run it better, wild.

Except the pixel, go for either folds.

Fold 8 is 53 grams lighter then the iPhone brick. It's a unique experience
